In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This class will use the following 3rd party for practice (no acct needed): Youtube, Quizlet, Google Docs, CK12 Flexbooks, Quizizz, Padlet, and Google Slides. Please look over the first practice assignments uploaded. Those will contain important info for families, class expectations, and standards list. The goal in this class is for students to begin a new week each Sunday. The goal is to finish by Friday evenings. Then the flex parent who has partnered with the teacher, will check the class wall on the weekend to make sure the student is uploading work, doesn't have missing work, and is following a steady pace. Missing work policy-I will message the student and tag their missing work on the class wall. Parents, please check the class wall weekly. Each Sunday if the week before is completed, I will upload the next week. The goal is to stay at a steady pace so all weeks can be finished before the class ends.
Curriculum: The following were used to create the class; Glencoe Earth Science, Glencoe Life Science, Glencoe Physical Science, Holt Physical Science, and Scholastic Science Labs. In addition, www.ck12.org was used for online chapters. A student textbook will not be needed, but instead online chapter pdfs will be provided for the student if needed.
